Dent in bone & shifted temporal line - can this be fixed? (Photos)

Question

I was beaten. Received many hits in the right side of my forehead. Now there is a dent in the bone and the right temporal line has shifted rightward and inward. Can this possiblly be fixed?

Michael S. Kluska, DO · Answer

The dent appears to be a result of trauma to the fat in this region, resulting in fat atrophy. This could easily be treated with either fat transfer, or as little as dermal filler.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

I'm really sorry to read about the incident and the resulting injury you experienced. Surgical procedures such as bone grafting, cranial reconstruction, or other techniques may be used to repair and restore the damaged area.

An “in person” consultation is necessary to determine the best course of action.

Best of luck !
